Local and self controled AI has some really cool applications. When I can afford it, replacing my home security cameras with something that stays local and not sent to the cloud is on my list of things to do. When I do that having a local AI do image recognition and tying it into my home assistant setup will be a cool project.
That was the thing. When I first setup both of them they worked fine with cloudflared. A storage configuration change killed the TrueNAS app but it worked with cloudflared up until the day it died. For the AIO setup, I forget which version (11.x?), but an update broke cloudflared connectivity to the Apache container. I can point the tunnel at the master container and it works, but not the Apache container. Rebuilding it and going through logs and my config never revealed any reason why it broke. Nextcloud forums were basically “get gud” and read this self hosting for morons guide as far as help went. The way their forums have been is what’s really turned me sour to the whole project tbh which is a shame. The project really is slick and great when it works.
I’ll give that docker stack a go and see what happens. This weekend’s project is to move my rig into a new case with a quieter and modern power supply and better cooling.
I’ve run both AIO docker and TrueNAS app deployments, and it’s the most house of cards fragile of anything I’ve ever hosted. I still haven’t been able to get the Apache container to talk to my cloudflare tunnel. I’m still looking for better options to self host or the Nextcloud forums to actually be helpful.
You don’t think China sees the vacuum left from the current players exiting consumer markets? The protectionism playbook that the US has run is catching up to bite us in the ass, which will be accelerated now that China has EUV.
That and I expect used enterprise hardware to continue to be sold. I have an old hotel check-in computer as my current router running OPNSense.
